LEVELING

THE WASHER

The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds.. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a ]eve],solid surface.. NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as n_essary to ]eve] the washer. Extending the levelingfeet more than necessary _n cause the washer to vibrate. NOTE: Before installing the washer,make sure the floor is dean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily Leveling feet that can move o or slide on the floor can contribute to excess Nbration and noise due to poor contact with the floor. See INSTAL_TION OF NON-SKID PADS below for more information.. NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation. All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor..Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact w_h the floor..

3. Once the washer is level from side to side and front to bad,{, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four iock nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out of adjustment during operation. Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor. NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized load of laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, select RINSE+SPIN, and then press the START/PAUSE button. See the following sections for additional information on cycie selection and operation. Verify that the washer does not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycie, ff the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet, while the washer is spinning, until the vibrations are reduced to a minimum.

INSTALLATION

OF NON-SKiD PADS

i. Pos_ion the washer in the final location, taking special care to not pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines..Place a level across the top of the washer..

Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the washer from moving on the floor during heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of ba]an_, excess noise and vibration can result from the washer moving out of position. If these conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer from moving during heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing noise and vibration.

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and options selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty, Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes. Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these Ltemsfrom snagging or tangling on other clothes. Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large _ems should not be more than half of the totai wash load. The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum shouid not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.

To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually. Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats, sleeping bags, etc. When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small items.

Grouping

Similar Items

For the best washing results and to reduce the possibility of damage to the clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items. Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration, fabric damage or linting Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below. Colors Sort articles by color. Wash dad,( clothes together in a _parate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes. Soil Level Wash heavily soiled clothes together. Washing lightly soiled clothes in the same load with heavily soiled clothes could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing. Fabric Type Delicate articles should not be mixed wRh heavier or sturdier fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with heavy fabri_ can result in damage to the more delicate fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can resu_ in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicates. Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing the_ lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer -temycloth towels)

NOTE: Make sure the door seal area is clear when dosing the door. Overloading the washer can cau_ items to get caught between the door and the seal. This can damage both the items and the seal.

O Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments, Close the lid before starting the cycle. NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the end of the cycle.

A Word About Detergents

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interiorof your washer clean. Using non-HE detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

LIQUID D ETERG ENT

POWDERED DETE RG ENT

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills [mmediateiy.These products can damage the finish and controls. NOTE: Do not put detergent or other laundry products in the Prewash compartment. This compartment is not used on this model

detergent using the measure provided w_h the detergent I or proper wash performance, always measure the by the manufacturer. The norma] amount needed for average loads is Jessthan 1/2 of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, lightsoil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

Designed to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent. IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Careful attention must be paid to the amount of detergent used to avoid ovepJs[ng, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than that supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the manufacturer of the detergent. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, care must be used when measuring the detergent, For most normal loads, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup or scoop of HE detergent should be used. NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above. NOTE: Detergents designated as HE-COMPATIBLE may not provide optima] results.
